This Day in Golf History: August 10

In a date coincidence, the final two PGA Championships Jack Nicklaus won were on this date, August 10. In 1975, he won his fourth PGA overall on the South Course of Firestone Country Club in Akron, Ohio, two strokes ahead of Bruce Crampton. Nicklaus won at four-under 276. And in 1980 on the East Course at Oak Hill Country Club, Nicklaus won his fifth and final PGA by seven shots over Andy Bean.
